Abstract
This small series of preterm neonates with the diagnosis of CBV sepsis highlights the importance of correct diagnosis of maternal enterovirus infection in order to extend pregnancy and allow the fetus time to passively acquire protective antibodies. This report emphasizes the morbid complication of pulmonary hemorrhage as a result of enterovirus infection that should be anticipated and managed aggressively due to its potentially fatal outcome. Moreover, evaluation and observation of the asymptomatic twin is recommended in order to detect early signs of infection and deterioration in that sibling as well.
